Tonight, dear friends, will terminate
since Robert Burns took his estate
Upon the earth;
And we have met to celebrate
His day of birth.
So let us merry be tonight,
In memory of that no Die wight,
That gave us song and spread delight
'MoAg Scotland's hills;
And in her wales he set light
Spleen cannot kill.
Tho poverty did mar his feet,
Few wrote so well or sung so sweet
The muse quite kindly did him treat
By day and night;
And secretly oft did him meet
-1 In fancy's flight.
Vile superstition's rugged walls
B, fore his pen decline and fall.
The peasants cot, the rich mans hall,
He painted we'll;
And how men Jared, both great and small,
His writings tell.
The hireling priests sore did him fear,
Their creeds ne censur'd most severe;
Their themes were ill prepared to bear
His heavy blows
Their Worthlessness from vanto rear
He plainly shows.
Still, while thro life he bent his way,
From early youth until the day
That God proclaimed him liteless clay,
God was his trust;
In Him alone he had his stay,
Unstatned by rust
Thrice honored be his honored name,

THE BARD'S BIRTHDAY.
A Right Royal Time in Sugar
house Ward.

Last night the mem bers of the Burns
Club, of Sugarhouse, met to enjoy a
dance and have a good time, on the
occasion ofthe anniversary of the birth
day of the Lad that was born in
Kyle" The occasion was one long to
be remembered by those who partici-
pated, on account of the spirit of socia-
biIity and harmony prevailing, each
vieing with the other in making all feel
at home. There was full attendance
from all quarters, and the songs and
Rotations were very select. The open
ing speech by Mr.. w. G. A. Smoot, was a
master peice, and was credit to that
gentleman. Mr.. G. Stewards "Hail to
the Chief, and There was lad who
was born in Kyle" were well rendered.
Mr.. w. GALLAGHER in his inimitable
Ny Jocks ava wi the Sogers," was
eXcellently done, and Mr.. d. Landles
and other singers did their very best
to make the OCCASION what it was-a
great social success. The cakes made
by Mr.. W. GALLAGHER and presented to
the committee of the club were
a characteristic feature of the nights
proceedings. They reflected great
credit on the maker OF them, az
decorative artist. The whole proceed
ings were conducted in the best OF
order and declared by all a grand
success. One thing more which deserves
special mention was the original lines
by Mr.. u. Latham, composed for and
read on the occasion. They gave great
and really delineate the
character of the great Bard. The fol-
lowing is copy of the Same, for the
benefit of all lovers of Robbie Burns.

Reports from Leavenworth, Kansas, in

Farmers are burning corn, furniture
and parts of their houses to keep from

persons have been frozen to death.
AT Dighton, mother and three children
sought refuge at neighbors and were

THE STORM IN MISSOURI.
KANSAS CITY, December 21st.-The biz
zard which struck this section Monday
evening ragged all night and until about 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. While the
fall of snow did not exceed eight inches on
level, in some parts it has drifted to a
depth of about five feet. All the street.
car lines, both cable and horse, were
stopped yesterday on account of the drifts,
and all the incoming trains on the several
roads centering in Ka lsa5 City were snow
bound, being delayed from two to five
hours.
Reports from Southern Kansas and In
dian Territory state that cattle are drifting
badly before the storm, and that the loss
will be very heavy. Reports from Western
Kansas say the storm caught some sections
OF the country without sufficient supply
of coal.
In Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, trains were
delayed and the storm showed 10 signs of
abating soon.
Much suffering is anticipated on the line
OF the Santa Fe Railroad. 1t is known by
the Leavenworth Coal Company that there
is scarcity of fuel along the line of that
railroad, as far west as the Colorado, but
since the storm broke nothing has been
heard from the afflicted localities

LONDON, December 21st.-An interesting
item of news comes from Ireland. The
rd-Lieutenant has had to give up hunt
ing with the Meath hounds. 4 few months
ago he rented for the season the Sumter
Hill hunting seat, which is occupied during
her stag by the Empress of Austria, and
brought down an immense stud of horses,
but the Meath farmers resolved that they
would not allow the coercionist Vice-roval
to hunt over their lands. They held a
convention and took measures to stop hunt
ing all over the county unless Lord Lon
donderry was excluded from the hunt.
The Master of Hounds appealed to DR..
Nulty, Bishop of Meath, but Nulty would
take no steps to interfere with the flock.
The upshot was that the members of the
hunt took occasion to let Londonderry
known that so long as he insisted on Join
ing there was no possibility of hunting.
Londonderry has accordingly intimated
that he will hunt with the Meath hounds
no more, and the Master of the Hounds,
in communicating this fact to the people,
petitioned that now the obnoxious presence
of the Lord Lieutenant is removed, they
should permit hunting to be resumed.
Fancy the Viceroy of Ireland practically
expelled from hunting club, like black
leg, at the demand of the people

Ships Crew Bewildered by an Undis-
coyerable Leak.


FALL RIVER (Mass), December Dist
The schooner Harbeson, Captain Hickman.
towed here last week in leaky condi-
ton from Delaware breakwater, where she
had arrived on voyage from Baltimore. is
the victim of an uncanny sort of leak,
which has baffled all attempts at discovery
AID has cost her owners a good pile of
money.
The vessel, to all appearances, is stanch
when empty, and as tight as drum when
loaded with ice, the pumps only drawing q
little fresh water, but when loaded with
coal she leaks so badly that the crew have
to be kept at the pumps all the time. This
makes them weary, and, when the leak
cannot be discovered, makes them feel
queer. Sometimes they mutiny and leave
on the voyage, as happened on the last trip.
Almost every known means have been
taken to discover the leak, but without
avail. She has been steamed and smoked
and had a new bottom put in, but still she
leaks.
Sailors are beginning to feel superstitious
about her. Eand it is not easy to get a crew.
Captain Hickman is hard az work hunting
up crew to take the vessel to Philadelphia
or Baltimore, where she will be docked and
filled with water in another effort to dis
cover the leak
